AUP

All students are introduced to the AUP, and what it means, before they are allowed to use any of the district’s technology.

We review the AUP with all grades, spending a full class period to review the specific document as well as discuss which each point means and how proper use looks within school. For the lower grades, Kindergarden and 1st grade, the terminology is adjusted for their level. For instance, in the lower grade the AUP boils down to :

be nice

to each other

to the equipment

we do work

we will have fun but school technology is for positive, productive use, not games

focus on your work, don’t worry about others

only share what a teacher says is ok too

no names on websites

there are only two things on the internet

good

garbage

focus on the good, ignore the garbage

create good, don’t add garbage

We cover the official policy word-or-word, as well as what it means using real-world examples, before using the computers. In addition, after reviewing the AUP all 2-5th graders are given the “Online Accounts” permission slip to share with their parents and return, signed, to their classroom teacher.

If there are any questions, feel free to contact Mr. Casal at any time.
